Just days after taking home the franchise's first NBA Championship since 1979, the OKC Thunder opted to cap Dillon Jones' tenure with the organization at just one year, as he was traded to the Washington Wizards on June 28.
While he may not have been all that consistent of a participant throughout the club's title-winning campaign, seeing a large chunk of his rookie season spent in the development league, the former Weber State product was still viewed as an intriguing, high-upside prospect for Oklahoma City.
In fact, just to attain his services in the 2024 NBA Draft, Sam Presti and company willingly coughed up a whopping five future second-round picks to the New York Knicks for his rights directly after being selected 26 overall on the night.
